by Stella's domain and watches the new baby she barely talks to me Stella doesn't talk to me either she is too busy nestling Ruby she is cute little Ruby with her ears flapping like Palm leaves that I

Julia glasses in my direction poor old Ivan she says I've been ignoring you haven't I like runs again and dignified in different Julia thinks for a moment and then smiles she walked over to my domain but in the corner where the glass is broken she said papers through she rolls a pencil across my cement floor you can draw the baby elephant to Julia says I bet the pencil and half with my magnificent teeth then I eat some paper page 77 tricks even after Julia and her father leave I try to keep so it's no use gorillas are not by Nature How Stella I call it's a full moon did you see sometimes when we are lucky we catch a glimpse of the Moon through the Skylight Skylight in the food court I did sell it says she is Whispering and I realized everything must be asleep is Ruby all right I asked she's too thin Ivan Stella says poor baby she was in that truck 4 days Mack Brock from bought her from a circus the same way he bought me a he she hasn't been there long she was born in the wild like us will she be okay I asked Stella doesn't answer my question the server circus trainers change her to the floor Ivan all four feet 23 hours a day a puzzle over why this would be a good idea I always try to give humans the benefit of the doubt why would they do that I finally asked the break her spirit Stella says so she could learn to balance on a pedestal so she could stand on her hind legs so she could jump on her back while she walked in Mindless circles I hear her voice and think of all the tricks Stella has learned a 79 introduction When I Wake the next morning I see a little trunk poking out between the bars of Stella's domain hello says it's small clear voice I'm real she waves her truck hello I say I'm Ivan are you a monkey Ruby certainly not Bob's ears perk up although his eyes stay closed he's a gorilla he says and I'm a dog of Uncertain heritage why did the dog climb on your tummy Ruby asks because it's their murmurs it's still awake I asked Aunt Stella's asleep or be sad is hurting I think Ruby turns her head her eyes are like Stella's black and long last Bottomless Lakes French by Telegraph when is breakfast she asked I say when the mall opens in the workers where Ruby Spencer had in the other direction where are the other elephants it's just you and Stella I say and for some reason I feel like I've let her down are there more of you not I say at the moment Ruby picks up a piece of hay and considers it do you have a mom and dad well I used to everyone is here is Bob explain it's on The Voice before the circus I used to live with my mom and my aunts and my sisters and my cousin's Ruby said she dropped the hey picks it up and twirl fit their dad I don't know what to say not really enjoying this conversation but I see that Ruby isn't done talking to be polite I say I'm sorry to hear that Ruby humans killed them she said who else that as we fall silent page 82 Stella and Ruby all morning Stella Strokes Ruby has her and smells her a slap years they Rumble and Roar they sway as if they're dancing Ruby clings to Stella's still she sleeps under Stella's belly sometimes they just lean into each other their trunks world together like jungle vines still is so happy it's more fun to watch than any other nature show I've seen on TV page 83 home of the one and only Ivan George and Mack are out by the highway I can see them through one of my windows they are next to each other and tall wooden ladders leaning against the bill for the tells the cars to stop and visit with the one Only Ivan Mighty Silverback George has a bucket and a long-handled room Mac has pieces of paper he's last won against the billboard George dips the broom into a bucket he what's the paper with liquid from the bucket somehow the paper stays in place they put up many pieces before they are done when they climb down from the letters I see that they've added a picture of a little elephant on the billboard the elephant has a lopsided smile she is wearing a red hat and her tail curled up like a pig she doesn't look like Ruby she doesn't even look like an elephant I've only known Ruby for one day but I could have drawn her better 885 art lesson he asked a lot of questions she says Ivan why is your tummy so big have you ever seen a green giraffe can you get me one of those pink clouds as the humans are eating when Ruby asks what is that on your wall I explained that it's a jungle she says the flowers have no scent in the waterfall has no water in the trees have no roots I'm aware of that I say it's art a picture made with paint you know what art is I Stay you know how to make art Ruby ask yes I do I say they pop out my chest a little I've always been an artist I love drawing why do you love it Ruby ask I paused I've never talked to anyone about

drawings sell at the gift store for $25 a piece with a frame what's a frame Ruby asked what's a dollar what's the gift store I close my eyes I'm a little sleepy Ruby have you ever driven in a truck Ruby asks I don't answer Ivan Ruby asks can Bob fly a memory flashes past surprising me I think of my father's snoring peacefully Under the Sun well I try every trick I know to wake him perhaps I
